Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 276 The News Spreads
This New Year's Eve, many people did not have a good time.

Because it was a holiday, the elders would either visit relatives and friends, invite friends to drink and celebrate the New Year, or stay in the mansion to drink and have fun.

In short, it is very idle!
When people are free, they like to gossip.

Therefore, at noon, the news that the emperor summoned several elders to enter the palace spread quickly throughout the mansions.

Calling ministers into the palace at this time is definitely not an unusual event, but any courtier who is a bit politically sensitive can't sit still.

As a result, outside the Donghua Gate soon there were many young servants who inquired about the news, and some officials who were not of high rank ran directly to the palace gate and waited not far away, most of them were Yushi.

Yu Shangshu came out with an expressionless face, which was in line with his style.

But I don't know why, the official hat is not worn on the head, but is held in the hand.

With a clever mind, looking at this scene, he had a vague guess in his heart, and his face immediately changed.

However, Yu Qian's status is there, especially now that he is not in a good mood, no one dares to surround him and ask.

Immediately afterwards, it was Mr. Yu Ge from the cabinet who came out of the palace gate.

As we all know, these two elders, as well as Chen Zongxian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, have a good friendship and share the same political views, and they often advance and retreat together in the court.

But this time, everyone was surprised.

Even though the two of them were not far apart, Elder Yu Ge quickened his pace, calling Yu Shangshu's name as he walked.

But Yu Shangshu, who was walking in front, didn't seem to hear him, got on the sedan chair and left directly.

Old Yu Ge, who was running all the way and out of breath, was left hanging at the gate of the palace.

Although it is said that when Yu Shiyue was a criminal officer in Dali Temple, he was famous for his strict laws and stern manners.

However, since he was transferred to the cabinet, he has always presented a kind and tolerant image. Therefore, many censors have the courage to come forward and ask.

But what they also didn't expect was that.

These days, Mr. Yu Ge, who always had a smile on his face, didn't look too happy this time, he managed a few words, and hurriedly got on the sedan chair and left without saying anything.

Those with sharp ears heard that Yu Ge was always chasing Yu Shangshu.

After a while, several elders walked out of the palace, accompanied by Cheng Jingcheng, the supervisor of ceremonies.

Everyone wanted to go forward to ask what happened, but because Cheng Jing was there, it was difficult to go forward.

However, they didn't dare to move forward, but Cheng Jing walked towards them.

Da Dang, the supervisor of ceremonies, walked quickly to the place where the censors gathered, and finally stood still in front of one of the green-robed officials, and bowed his hands in salute.

"Master Liu, it's not a coincidence. His Majesty ordered our family to be sent to the military department. We were wondering where to find someone, so we ran into you. Come on, take our family to find Lord Ye."

"Your Majesty has issued a strict order. Before dusk, this decree has to be sent to Baoding Bofu. Time is running out, so I dare not delay any longer."

The official who was stopped by Cheng Jing was Liu Gang in the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Although there was discussion among everyone when chatting outside, the emperor summoned the ministers to enter the palace at this time, most likely because of some urgent military affairs.

But facing such a big peng like Cheng Jing, Liu Gang was still a little nervous.

You must know that there are many officials in the six departments, and each department has one person in the affairs, one person in the left and one in the right, and generally four to ten people in the affairs.

Add up, there are forty or fifty in total. Although it is said that due to their duties, they have a lot of contact with the palace, but most of the time, they are ordinary servants.

It was the first time for Liu Gang to speak directly to Cheng Jing, the eunuch who was the supervisor of ceremonies, and blinked his eyes. Liu Gang cupped his hands and said.

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, what is your majesty's order? Is it convenient for you to inform me first?"

Among the six subjects, in theory, everyone has the right to know the content of the edict, especially when the bigger the matter involved, the more blurred the boundaries between the subjects.

Although Liu Gang is just an ordinary person, the Master Ye that Cheng Jing mentioned is not an ordinary person.

His full name is Ye Sheng, and he is a member of the Ministry of Military Affairs, in charge of the approval and issuance of edicts from the Military Division.

Cheng Jing wanted to find Ye Sheng as soon as he opened his mouth. It seemed that it was not a trivial matter.

Glancing at the curious gazes of the censors around him, Cheng Jing thought for a while, but didn't hide it, and said directly.

"It's okay to tell Mr. Liu. His Majesty summoned a few elders into the palace to discuss the rebellion in Miaodi. Now it has been concluded. His Majesty has an order to order Baoding Bo Liang Pang to succeed Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji as the general army to conquer the South." Officer, lead the Beijing Army to reinforce Miaodi with [-] soldiers, and be responsible for countering the rebellion, and set off within three days."

So it was because of the Miao people...

A group of censors breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little regretful in their hearts. They thought that something big happened again, which would make them shine.

In the end, they didn't expect that it was such a southwestern event that had been delayed for more than half a year, and they ran to the palace gate on New Year's Eve and waited in vain.

The same is true for the Son of Heaven, this New Year's Eve, why did he suddenly think of such a thing...

With a bit of disappointment, the censors around scattered quite a lot, and several of them turned around, planning to go back home.

However, at this time, someone asked too much, said.

"For such a big event, the Ministry of War must be indispensable. In this way, Yu Shangshu just left in a hurry, so he went to the Beijing camp to transfer troops?"

Yu Qian's admiral supervised the Beijing camp, which was what he should have meant, but what Cheng Jing said next made the censors who had dispersed come back all of a sudden.

Although he didn't know who asked the question, Cheng Jing had been handling government affairs in the Lijian for so long, and he had long been connected with the emperor's mind.

From the moment he saw the situation in the palace, Cheng Jing knew that this matter could not be hidden, and the emperor probably didn't want to hide it either.

Therefore, he had nothing to hide, shook his head, and said directly.

"The Beijing camp is now managed by the stone son-in-law. As for Shangshu, he was punished by His Majesty for a month because of his disrespect. The affairs of the Ministry of War have also been temporarily handed over to Mr. Yu Gang, the servant. Just now, Mr. Yu Ge left in a hurry. Going, is to find Yu Shilang, and accompany him to Yu Mansion to hand over the affairs of the Ministry of War."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Jing ignored the huge impact of his words, and urged Liu Gang to go to the military department, and Ye Sheng went to the middle of the matter.

However, after he left, the group of censors who surrounded him immediately exploded.

That's Yu Qian!
Shaobao, Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Beijing Camp Admiral!

Whichever title is given out is the goal of ordinary officials' lifelong struggle.

Such an important minister was banned for a full month!

You know, for the Zhengyin officials in the yamen, the ordinary confinement is either three days or seven days, and generally does not exceed ten days.

Because no matter how long the time is, it will affect the normal operation of government affairs in the Yamen.

But now, the chief official of one of the six ministries has been grounded for a whole month?

Moreover, the emperor obviously considered government affairs, and even designated the officials who were in charge.

What does this mean?
This shows that what Yu Qian provoked this time made the emperor so angry that even if it affected the normal operation of the Ministry of War, he should be punished enough.

But, what kind of thing made the emperor so angry?
After all, Yu Qian is not an ordinary minister, he has made great contributions to the emperor.

Although there has been no clear conclusion on this matter, it can be seen from Yu Qian's addition of the title of Shaobao that the support is true.

Such a minister who is trusted by the emperor as his confidant, what kind of mistake did he make to make such a fuss.

All of a sudden, the ministers talked a lot, and some censors looked uncertain, turned around and left Donghua Gate, not knowing where they were going.

The other ministers also made their own plans, discussed for a while and then dispersed.

For things like this, since there is an edict, the content of the discussion and the general situation must not be concealed.

Yu Qian was punished, so you don't need to guess, he provoked the emperor's anger in front of the emperor.

However, since the participants are all important ministers, as long as they do not reveal the details, it is often difficult to spread the details.

But this time it was different. The news came from nowhere, but it spread quickly.

At dusk, when the edict was sent to Baoding Bofu.

The fact that Yu Qian violated Yan Zhijian in front of the imperial court, and was almost smashed by the emperor with a teacup, has spread throughout the mansions in the capital...
